Trump was speaking at a rally in Missoula, Mont., where the president was campaigning for a Republican challenger to Sen.

All Americans should recoil from the president's praise for a violent assault on a reporter doing his Constitutionally protected job. Jackson denied allegations of misconduct and that he overprescribed medications, but eventually withdrew his name from consideration.

Tester's role was leading the investigation and releasing a list of allegations that had been compiled by the Democratic staff of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

President Donald Trump on Thursday heaped praise on a USA congressman from Montana who body-slammed a reporter during a campaign for a special election in 2017.

"Any guy that can do a body slam, he's my kind of guy", Trump told the crowd.

Trump said he was afraid Gianforte would lose after the moment, but then recalled, "Wait a moment, I know Montana".

Needless to say, Trump's praise of Gianforte - who plead guilty to misdemeanor assault, only adds to the grim view of an America where "free speech" is only protected if it uplifts the current administration.

Gianforte is now polling nine points ahead of Democratic challenger Kathleen Williams, in a state that has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1996, and elected Trump by a 20 point margin in 2016.

Trump commented at the rally that upon hearing of the assault, he thought it might hurt Gianforte's chances.

The president is trying to make immigration a top issue in the midterm elections, which are less than three weeks away. "He is my guy", Trump said.

It's no secret that Donald Trump doesn't hold journalism in high esteem.

"This will be an election of (Justice Brett) Kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order and common sense", Trump said.
